Do an eggtopsy, and you’ll know for sure!! All the eggs died? I suspect fowl play

No fowl play... for some reason the entire litter had shrink wrapping and died. I looked into the eggs and saw the dried membrane.

I have a couple turkey eggs that should hatch in a few days. But am worried about them now.

You will have to take my word that they were chickens. I have no way to prove it either way. I just know the person I got them from would not send me anything other than what I want.

I am incubation weary now so will be calling it quits pretty soon for the year.

I've had a lot of shrink wrapped chicks lately. It's very disheartening. I managed to save one yesterday, but have lost quite a few. I'm blaming the wacky weather.

Sorry about the crummy hatch.

I think our weather contributed to the bad hatches. We had freezing cold, then 70ish, the humidity bounced all over the place. Snow storms with lighting, rain storms, blizzards and then hot dry mixed in....

It has not been good, KetoJenn had it better than us even. I need the weather fairly stable to get good hatches. Poor Little Chickens...

I've had the same issues (minus the dux) ... and the same lousy hatching results. I have my fingers seriously crossed for the current batch. I'm paranoid to even open up the incubator to candle, so I have no idea what's good in there and what isn't. Lockdown is in a few days, so I guess I'll do it, then.

You're the one that raised those meat birds, right? I think you called them toads?
